Which weapons suit Chongyun the best?
Due to its team-wide and individual attack boosts, Wolf's Gravestone is our favorite claymore for Chongyun; yet, due to its five-star rating, it might be difficult to get. It's also coveted by other, stronger characters like as Genshin Impact's Diluc, so you may want to think about looking for something else.To further increase your chances of success, we advise you to go for the Sacrificial Greatsword in order to maximize his skill uptime in the meantime.Weapon | Effect | How to obtain |
Wolf’s Gravestone | Bonus stat: attack Skill: Increases attack by 20%. On hit, attacks against opponents with less than 30% HP increase all party members’ attack by 40% for 12 seconds. Can only occur once every 30 seconds |

Which artifacts are the best for Chongyun?
The greatest artifact set from Chongyun is Noblesse Oblige.because of its helpful team-wide attack boost and elemental burst buff. But take caution—Since the effect doesn't stack, only utilize a four-piece Noblesse Oblige set for Chongyun if no other character has the set equipped.The Severed Fate Emblem enhances Chongyun's burst dependent on his energy recharge, which may reach rather high, making it an excellent option for Chongyun's personal damage. It's very competitive among primary DPS troops, so give these artifacts to your other characters before focusing on this four-piece set.A two-piece Blizzard Strayer set may be used. If you're searching for a less expensive approach to make Chongyun, you can basically use any artifact set that grants an attack% boost.Artifact set | Effect | How to obtain |
Noblesse Oblige | Two equipped: elemental burst damage +20% Four equipped: increases all party members’ attack by 20% for 12 seconds after using an elemental burst. This effect cannot stack |
